Win2K Pro Cannot Browse Personal Netware

I cannot establish a NetWare peer-to-peer network between two machines:
(1) Caldera DRDOS 7.02 with Personal Netware
(2) Windows 2000 Pro SP1.
When Machine 1 hardware was configured as a MS-DOS box I was able to run
NetBEUI between the two machines, and under DRDOS I can run NIC test
software that confirms that the NIC is still installed and functioning, so I
think the hardware is good. The DRDOS and NetWare installation "seems okay"
as I can log in as supervisor and share and map drives.
On the Win2K machine I've added NWLink Protocol and Client Service for
NetWare. The "ipxroute config" command shows IpxLoopbackAdaptor, Local Area
Connection, and NDISWANIPX; "ipxroute servers" shows only the Win2K
machine; and trying to open 'NetWare or Compatible Network' yields "Unable
to browse the network."
As a new user of NetWare I'm stumped. Are there obvious configuration
issues? Are there tools like ping for NetWare? Is this the right
newsgroup? Thank you.

Problem resolved: I've been told that Win2K Netware client does not speak
to Personal Netware; Personal Netware is a completely different animal from
Netware.
